Chapter 56 The Last Struggle(1/2)
Ji Xian entered the palace early in the morning. Xueyan walked around the palace, wanting to know where the weapons in the palace were placed, but it was difficult to go directly to ask Caier.
Master Wu is a tough guy. It will be a fierce battle tonight, but Xue Yan doesn't even have a weapon. What should I do? He is hurting the gods. Ji Xian has already returned. Xue Yan saw the sword on his waist at a glance, and the dragon and phoenix are carved on the scabbard, which is very delicate, with the light yellow sword spear swaying in the wind.
"Cai'er, the prince's sword is so beautiful. What is it cast?" Xueyan didn't look back and asked Cai'er softly standing beside her.
"It is said that it was made of black iron from the bitter and cold land in the extreme north. It was the gift given to him by His Majesty when the prince was an adult." Cai'er said proudly and asked back. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xueyan smiled slightly and thought about it.
It was already dark. After dinner, Xueyan went back to the room to rest early, blew out the candle, jumped out of the back window, and quietly sneaked into Ji Xian's bedroom. There was no one in the room. The sword was placed on the sword rack. Xueyan walked to the window, and the light in the study room was on, and Ji Xian was still in the study room at this time.
"Cai'er, Xueyan has rested so early. Are she sick?" Ji Xian put down the book and asked with his head up.
"No, I've been doing well recently. I've been with her in the palace for a day. I must be tired." Cai'er thought for a while and said, "Miss Xueyan always looks very worried and rarely speaks. But today I asked the prince's sword what was cast."
"My sword?" Ji Xian asked strangely.
Xueyan tiptoed over, picked up the sword, pulled out a blade, and looked at the sword edge with the dim moonlight. It turned out to be a good sword! Although it was just the cold iron in the extreme north of the world, it was carefully crafted and extremely sharp. The sword edge had a layer of coldness.
Xueyan likes the feeling of holding a sword. Having a sword in her hand can give her more security. Since the Po Xue sword turned into ice pot and sealed Han Tian, Xueyan hasn't felt this way for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
"I hope you can return the sword to you before you come back to rest!" Xue Yan muttered, returning the sword into the sheath, hiding the sword in her sleeve, turning around and jumping out of the window, focusing on saving Xiaoqi, but he didn't know that all this was seen by Ji Xian who had just walked over.
Xueyan avoided the patrol servants, jumped out along the wall of the mansion, and quickly headed towards the direction of the National Master's Mansion.
"Here you come." Xueyan met Xu Jin who had been waiting there at the east gate of the National Master's Mansion.
Xu Jin jumped out of the tree. "After entering, you keep walking to the left. If you save them, take them away. I will hold Master Wu."
"You? You are alone?" Xueyan turned her head and asked, "What should Xiaochen do if something happened to you?"
"Xiaochen..." Xu Jin whispered.
"Yes, what he really needs is not you to take revenge, but your care and company. The dead are gone, cherish the people who are still around you."
"I understand." Xu Jin lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed, as if he was touched by Xue Yan's words.
"It's good to know. He taught your witchcraft. He naturally knows your ability. Or should I drag him down and save people.
"What can I do?" Xu Jin refused. He couldn't let Xueyan take risks alone and escape by himself.
"Putting aside the depth of cultivation, spiritual arts are in some ways to restrain witchcraft. "Xueyan turned her head and heard nothing in the door. She continued: "As long as you take them away, I have a way to escape."
"No, you have to have a few things, how can I explain to them?"
"It doesn't matter, I still have value in using Master Wu. He also wants to use me to restrain King Ji Xian. Even if he is captured, he will not be in danger of his life."
Xu Jin pondered. He knew that Master Wu was vicious and couldn't bear to let Xueyan take risks.
"There is not much time left, so I'm just determined. No matter how hesitated, we can't leave." Xueyan said firmly.
"Then you have to be careful." Xu Jin looked at Xueyan worriedly. "I settled them and came to pick you up."
"Okay." Xueyan nodded, followed Xu Jin quietly into the east gate, and walked all the way to the left, and saw Master Wu and his group of witchcraft masters standing there from afar.
"Come out, I know you will definitely come." Master Wu
He stroked his beard and said loudly.
Xueyan and Xu Jin heard this and walked out of the dark shade of the trees.
Everything was like a trap waiting for them, but the two of them had to come. Master Wu sat leisurely on the chair, and two men in black tied Xiaoqi and Xiaochen.
"It's another trap." Xueyan said disdainfully: "Are you calculating others every day?"
"Of course, as long as I want, I must find a way to get it!" Master Wu gritted his teeth and said with a ruthless look, which made Xueyan's heart tremble. Xueyan subconsciously reached out and touched the sword in her cuff, feeling more comfort in her heart.
"There are gains and losses. If you get something that does not belong to you, you will pay the price for it." Xueyan sneered disdainfully.
Master Wu stood up, stretched his hands into the sky, and said loudly. "Yes, I thought about it, so what if I get this world? I am nearly fifty years old and will eventually face death. "As he said that, he turned around and walked to Xueyan, with a look of evil. I practiced witchcraft all my life, just to seek immortality, but if I want to live forever, I can only ascend to become an immortal."
"Witchcraft itself is an evil method on earth. It is because tens of thousands of years ago, the Ghost Emperor, the ancestor of the ghost clan, wanted to strengthen his tribe, so he brought witchcraft to the human world. Practicing witchcraft is a magic path. Even if you can use witchcraft to gallop across the human world now, you will fall into the demon world after death. This path will make you farther and farther away from becoming an immortal." Xueyan said sternly: "You are still too late to stop your horse now!"
Master Wu laughed. "Hahahaha... Of course I am afraid of falling into the devil's way, so now you can only help me?"
"What do you want to do?" Xueyan turned her head and looked straight into his eyes.
Master Wu seemed to be crazy, with bloodshot eyes in his eyes. "Of course I want your highest good spirit. With the highest good spirit, I can ascend to become an immortal, live forever, and do whatever I want."
"I won't give it to you!" Xueyan interrupted his delusion and was secretly shocked. How could he know about the Supreme Spirit of Good?
"You have no choice!" Master Wu sneered and turned to Xiaoqi and Xiaochen. "I know that the spirit of the Supreme Goodness is on you. As long as you give it to me, I will release these two little ghosts!"
"You do everything evil, and you can't imagine the most good spirit!" Xueyan said angrily. Master Wu is not a moral person. If Xueyan dies, Xiaoqi and Xiaochen will definitely have no way to survive.
"Then I have to rob it. I think the Supreme Spirit will definitely be in your natal Yuan Dan. As long as you kill you and get your natal Yuan Dan." Master Wu's eyes were a little ferocious. "I heard that you are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, it turns out that you are also afraid of death. Do you want them to be buried with you?"
"Don't hurt them!" Xueyan was helpless.
"Your life will be exchanged for their lives." Master Wu pointed at Xiaoqi and Xiaochen and smiled treacherously. "You are worth it!"
"Sister, don't listen to him! If you don't leave, I won't leave!" Xiaoqi shouted.
Xueyan pondered, she really had no choice. Since Master Wu could wait for him here, he would be sure to get the most good spirit. "Okay, you let them go first, otherwise I will die and they will not be able to escape. Since you want to trade, you must show sincerity."
"Ha...what should you do if you run away?" Master Wu didn't believe Xueyan, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her, wanting to know what tricks she was playing.
"Even if I want to leave, I may not have left so many experts here, right?" Xueyan looked around. On such a quiet night, there was a lot of murderous intentions. Master Wu would wait for her here, so he must have arranged a net of heaven and earth, so that she could not escape.
"Hahahaha... You know yourself!" Master Wu laughed to the sky and waved his hand to the man in black standing aside. "Let them go."
When a person is most proud, he is the closest to failure. Master Wu is too proud.
Xueyan shouted to Xiaoqi and Xiaochen: "You guys go!" He secretly held the hilt of the sword in his sleeve. As soon as they left, Xueyan would break out to the death.
The two guards untied the ropes on Xiaoqi and Xiaochen, but Xiaoqi was not willing to betray Xueyan and run away alone, and Xiaochen couldn't bear to part with his brother.
"Now it's time for you to give me the Supreme Spirit, right?" Master Wu sneered and walked towards Xueyan.
Xueyan subconsciously swung her long sleeves, and the sword sheath flew out of Xueyan's sleeves
Go, hit Master Wu’s chest, Master Wu took a few steps back. "I knew it wouldn’t be so easy."
Xueyan quickly jumped up, caught the bounced scabbard, landed in front of Master Wu, and pointed at Master Wu's tip. "I will not let the Supreme Spirit fall into the hands of someone like you."
"Ha... People like me will not be punished by heaven and earth. Don't you know?" Master Wu laughed and condensed witchcraft in his hands.
"It's nonsense!" Xueyan raised her sword and greeted her.
Xu Jin also came up to help, Xiaochen and Xiaoqi hid aside, and a group of people fought together.
Xiaoqi refused to leave Xueyan, but she couldn't help, so she could only hide there and look at her worriedly. The silver-white sword light appeared and disappeared in the black witchcraft, and several witchcraft masters rushed up. Xu Jin was struggling to deal with it, and Xueyan couldn't take care of herself.
Master Wu grabbed Xiaochen, pressed his sword against his neck, and shouted. "Give me the spirit of the best!"
"Don't hurt him." Xueyan and Xu Jin took a few steps back to stabilize Master Wu's mood. He is now crazy.
Master Wu ordered coldly: "Put down the sword and come over."
Xueyan had no choice but to throw the sword to the ground and slowly walked towards Master Wu.
"Your life is mine." Wu Guoshi smiled treacherously. "You can't beat me after all, hahahaha..." His smile was rampant and weird, making people creepy. One hand condensed with witchcraft, ready to end Xueyan's life.
Xueyan walked towards him step by step. "If you let him go, I am willing to die."
"Now you have no choice, die!" Master Wu snorted coldly, and was about to use witchcraft.
"Sister Xueyan..." Xiaochen's eyes were filled with tears, and he pushed Master Wu away on his own, hitting the sword, and instantly, bright red blood gushed out, and his young body collapsed.
Such a young child actually had such courage, and everyone present was stunned.
Xueyan rushed over and hugged him. He breathed hard, trembling in Xueyan's arms.
"Hurry... save him!" Xu Jin rushed over and shouted in grief, his voice desperate.
"Don't be afraid, with my sister here, you won't die!" Xueyan took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve, put the pills into his mouth, and lost his spiritual power to him. Xiaochen was already dying. He was too seriously injured. Xueyan knew that it could not be saved. Her tears fell down. He had already injured his life and blood was flowing like a stream. How could such a young child stand it? She could only watch this tender life pass away in her arms.
"Xueyan...Sister, you... are so beautiful!" Xiaochen trembled and stretched out his bloody hand and stroked Xueyan's face. "Don't cry, I want to see you laugh..."
"You... can you see it?" Xueyan stroked his little face with tears in her eyes. He had fallen asleep peacefully and would never wake up again.
Xu Jin stood up dullly, and Xueyan also stood up and put Xu Chen in his arms. "Take him home."
"Ha... is the Xu Mansion in Yao Town?" Master Wu sneered contemptuously. "Your father was against me everywhere, but he was killed all over the family. I didn't expect that two of them would run away in the end. I remember that the killer who came back said that you fell off the cliff, and I thought you two had fallen to death."
Xu Jin raised his head. "It turns out that you are the culprit who instructed the ministers to submit the memorials, and you finally admit it."
"I know your father was wronged. I admire him very much, but unfortunately he refused to cooperate with me, so I could only get rid of him." Wu Guoshi sneered. "Did you forget? My good son, my adoptive father has always taught you that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish!"
Xu Jin picked up the sword and was about to rush over. Xueyan stopped him. "We can't kill him today. You can take Xiaochen away first and take him home."
Xu Jin's eyes were full of hatred. He was reluctant to let Master Wu go, so he had no intention of leaving. Xueyan also leaned over and picked up the sword and returned the sword to the sheath. "Do you rush forward like this and fight to the death to live up to Xiaochen's will to protect us? He has just passed away. Do you want him to become a lonely ghost and homeless?"
"I'm going to kill him!" Xu Jin said gritting his teeth.
"I also have a blood debt with him. If we don't kill him today, it doesn't mean we'll let him go." Xueyan turned around and looked at Master Wu's proud look. "I can't live my own sins, let's go back first,
He is already crazy and will sooner or later suffer the consequences."
"Want to leave? Unless you leave your life." Master Wu stroked his long beard.
Xu Jin lowered his head, put his face on Xiaochen's face, and said softly. "Don't be afraid, brother will take you home." After that, he turned around and left. Xueyan pulled Xiaoqi and jumped out of the National Master's Mansion. Behind him, the killers in black chased him relentlessly.
"Run yourself, they want to kill me, I'll hold them here." Xueyan said to Xiaoqi.
